A closer look at the thumbnail says it's from Panorama, which appears to be the club mag for Porsche Club of America. Can't find a direct link to the article, though.

Actually it's in the current June edition. Looks like you have to subscribe to get online access to the Internet version.

There is an article in the June edition of Panorama that chronicles the driving life of a Porsche 996 Turbo.

The owner drove it everywhere and went on very, very long road trips. The car seemed to do well and the engine and the transmission held up.

It needed a water pump, windshield, right-front wishbone, left-front ball joint, cooling fans, three batteries, ABS vacuum hose, right-front ball joint, axle CV joint, oxygen sensor, belt tension pulley, idler pulley.

124 tires. 15 sets of front summer tires, 22 sets of rear summer tires, 11 sets of front winter tires, and 14 sets of rear winter tires.

The owner bought a new 991 Turbo S and looks to put as many miles on his new Turbo.

It certainly is a testimony of the extremes that these cars can be taken to.
No rebuilds! Crazy.
